OxygenOS Open Beta 2 released for OnePlus 5

It’s been less than a month since the first Android Oreo Open Beta for the OnePlus 5 landed, and already the company is releasing its second beta. This time around you don’t have a substantially new version of Android to look forward to, but there is a pile of fixes and improvements to dig into.

The full changelog for Open Beta 2, which is almost entirely bugfixes or incremental changes, is just below:

What’s new:

Launcher

Fixed widget issues

Fixed shortcut issues

Camera

UI improvements

File Manager

Added f4v format in video category

Speed improvements while deleting massive files

System

Improvements for Reading Mode

Improvements for vibration

Improvements for Bluetooth audio

Fixed Parallel Apps bugs

Fixed reboot issue when using Picture in Picture

Updated Android security patch to November

General bug fixes and stability improvements

If you’ve already migrated to the Open Betas, you should receive an OTA update to this version soon. On the other hand, if you aren’t a part of the betas (or you can’t wait), all you need to do to join is flash the Open Beta images manually by either sideloading the update or installing it via recovery.

Keep in mind that the Open Betas, as their names would suggest, aren’t stable. And once you’ve made this step, migrating back to the official stable channel and its OTAs will require a clean wipe.
